Charli Robinson experiences Singapore’s sheer range of family friendly activities | Getaway
It’s not just food and shopping that Singapore does well if you’re traveling with kids and you’d like to have some family fun you’ve come to the right place children and family are at the center of Singaporean culture and that’s reflected in the sheer number of familyfriendly activities on offer there
Really is something for everyone and just to be clear that’s for The Young and the young at heart whether you are a repeat visitor to Singapore or it’s your first time out of the airport you are always guaranteed something new this place is constantly Reinventing itself the brand new bird paradise here
At the mandai Wildlife Reserve is one of Asia’s biggest bird parks with everything from Horn Bill to Penguins mondai Wildlife Reserve is our new Precinct where we have all our zoos we have the Singapore Zoo the River wonders the night safari and now the brand new bird paradise and in future
Our Rainforest Park as well it’s over 126 hectares total it’s the space to come and connect with animals with nature and hopefully get inspired to protect them and listen to our conservation message as well we are currently in our South American flooded Savannah a it’s called Crimson wetlands
And you see all the mcos flying around us the flamingos the scal IUS the spoon bills I just cannot believe we’re walking along and just seeing mcco sitting there and they look so in love they’re so snuggled so when you start seeing them like this in tws they’re
Bonded pairs so by now they’re going to start looking for nesting places and hopefully in a couple of months we’ll have baby MOS they do not do things by haves in Singapore this place is truly vast next stop Africa as you can see here we have three different species of birds here the one on my shoulder is called African gray parrot it’s you can see she’s trying to
Rip my name tag off maybe I need to take this outfit that shows that she’s so comfortable with you do you look after her every day yes every day she’ll come and find me yeah so she’s the closest to me bird paradise is called that for a
Reason the animals here really do get the best of care a how sweet is that and if you want to see how things work behind the scenes you can add in a visit to the vet center behind the hospital here is actually our breeding Center so
We we do breed quite a lot of Southeast Asian um species of of birds are some of these animals endangered so that’s a really programs yeah yeah so some of them are critically endangered as well really um so the breeding that we do here really does contribute to direct Le to
Conservation all that bird watching is worked up an appetite luckily Singapore has the perfect familyfriendly way to cool down okay there’s not much I can say about this place it’s a museum dedicated to ice cream it’s bright it’s colorful it’s probably the pinkest place you’ll ever visit it’s kind of like an ice
Cream sundae exploded across every room and there’s un limited ice cream to be eaten there’s no words there’s just no words everybody that comes through the space has to have a unique ice cream name tagged onto them do you have any ideas uh my favorite ice cream is choc
Chip so could I be choc chip Charlie yeah that works yeah then right over here and now the fun begins yes let’s go so this is California and this is the first Street Station of the Museum of ice cream over here we serve two types of flavors that’s chocolate and
Chocolate and pink coconut what are you feeling today I’m might go pink please all right thank you so what’s so California for about this I mean you can see the fake tree plants about it it’s like all the palm trees I love this but I just want to keep going you want to
